So, i have been running the Procede for a bit now, and decided i needed just a bit more power, so i figured why not give the 50/50 E85 a shot!

the car is VRSF DP's, DCI, and mufflerless 6mt

well, first and second gear pull AMAZINGLY... very, very strong.. but when i shift into third, it bogs like crazy, sometimes for almost the entire gear.. but every now and then itll catch its breath and start pulling correctly!

what i noticed on the data log is that when i go into 3rd the car is going CRAZY lean.. between 18.1-20.1 before finally enriching itself, but boost is maintaining at 14 psi or so...

i will admit that, yes i AM running stg3 map, without an intercooler or chargepipe... is that REALLY whats causing this issue? or am i missing something?

Welcome to +34% max fuel trims. You can play with the user adjustable setting and set open loop to 100. See if that fixes your trims. Otherwise you can adjust the OL table to see if you can't get more fuel. Last but not least, PROcede Flash... Good luck.

well dang..

i just went out and tried it on Map 1 and Map 2, only to get the SAME exact results

Are you running the e85 maps? If not download the e85 maps and start over. If that doesn't help, then put more gas in your tank to reduce the Ethanol content.

Also, running on Map2 is not going to resolve the issue, just make it worse. Map2 is setup to be more aggressive and Map4 uses Map2 when you're running Meth. So before you start playing with Map2, fix the issue with Map1.

What codes are you getting when you hit 3rd gear? Maybe your HPFP can't handle the load or your LPFP can't feed your HPFP. Codes would tell the story.

If you have set the OL setting in Global User Adjustable Parameters to 100 and it still doesn't fix the issue. You can try to increase values in the Open Loop Fuel (Map 1) table. From your logs, you should be able to see the load and RPM that you ran out of fuel and max'd your trims. Up the value in the table by +5 and test. If that brings your trim below 34, then you should be ok.

Log and adjust accordingly. If you ol fueling is set to 75 move it up in 5% increments until you fuel trims run around 15%. I started at 75 and with 80 everything is great..... That being said all cars are a little different, so yours might need more. But log 3rd and 4th gear runs and I'm sure you will find your cars happy place!

ive done an extensive amount of searching, no issues there

of course im running the E85 maps lol, not gonna just start throwing random gas into a $10k motor and hoping it works out haha

and perhaps i shouldve been more clear.. i was not talking about running maps 1 and 2 inside that stage, i was actually talking about switching to different stages... as in stage 1 tune and stage 2... and yes, ive tried each map within those different stages

here a different data log from last night... showing fuel trim bank 1 at 0
and fuel trim bank 2 at around 30% when the issues are happening... why on earth would bank 1 follow bank 2 exactly, then as soon as i hit third drop to 0%?

You're not the first person with this issue at all. The older units (rev 2 and below) had a general solution of resetting adaptations and doing a few pulls. With ethanol blending being the new craze, this issue seems to pop up more frequently and there doesn't seem to be a hard and fast solution other than a flash. I think that fixes the problem most of the time. Perhaps shiv can chime in with what the DME is doing.

Some cars can't have as aggressive tuning as others before they get a low pressure code. You need to fine tune the OL 3D table, boost, AFR, E mix, etc depending on your goals. 3rd gear you'll use more fuel due to meeting boost targets and higher load... this is the gear (or even 4th) you need to use for tuning/logging.

I doubt it's O2... recently I thought I had a "slow" O2, but it ended up being WGs, which were recently changed and now no "slow" O2. 1 WG was doing most of the boost control, so air/fuel had more fluctuation. Likely not your issue though. If O2's are meeting AFR target when trims are good (ie. at part throttle), they should be ok.

BTW, I don't see any logs. You can post logs and even your current map and I (and others) can help walk you through tuning... it would probably be good for many others also.

i have tried to tune the OL fuel table, it doesnt change a thing related to this issue of shifting into third
and
what do you mean you dont see any logs? ive posted 3 in this thread...

I think the flex fuel sensor with procede would help. Based on what I understand, it helps optimize the tune with whatever percent of e85 you have in your car.
My car is a total beast with the tune and flex fuel sensor. I have procede, flex fuel sensor, exhaust, dci and fmic and was able to get 425whp on mustang dyno.
My car is still at FFTec for the upgraded fuel pump to help with the flow of e85.
Good luck

Can someone give a step by step on how to actually adjust values in the table, ideally with some screen shots? Ive asked for this in other threads and been ignored. I max out trims completely on E85 maps at 100% OL even on stage 2 and I'm full bolt-on. Now I'm maxing out trims even on pump gas. I get these codes...

I have issues with maxing trims on 91 as well. If you run too high of an OL, like 95% or 100%, you're prone to throw a fuel pressure code I believe. I've been wanting to get the Procede flash, but I can't justify the downtime on my DD right now.
